The forces that led to World War I and every war since then has been the result of Nationalism, Militarism , Imperialism and Entangling Alliances. These factors have all contributed to hostility and acts of aggression.
In a world that embraces the might makes right mentality, the collective security of the nation takes priority over the God given rights of the people.
Flags, anthems and national pride all tend to fan the flames of war. Would we be better off if every man respected the life, liberty and property of every other man and every nation did the same.
